PhD Econ Convener Catch-up/ Community Meet up

by Hector Gutierrez Rufrancos

Hi Folks, Please join me in the first Econ PhD - Convener catch up. It's just a space for us to have a chat and try to engage as a PhD community. I hope that most of you can join. The plan for the call is just to check in with all of you and give you space to tell me if there are any issues, etc. I will also propose some things for you guys like selecting what I would term a shop steward to act as a go between with me for any programme wide issues. I will circulate this invitation with the wider Econ community, but I will ask them to join from 16:00 onwards as this will give us some time for me to talk to you directly. Hope to see you tomorrow!

PhD mentorship

by Hector Gutierrez Rufrancos

Hi All, We have 3 new PhDs so far this year and another starter in January. Due to our unusual situation, I wonder if there might be some value for people to volunteer to mentor one of the new starters. May I please ask for any volunteers to please get in touch. The mentorship scheme will be ad-hoc and would be a way to welcoming them to the division, and giving them someone to be in touch with that is in their PhD cohort. I think it would be a nice way to foster community. Please note that if I do not get volunteers, by the end of the week. I will ask some of you to take on the roles regardless. best, Hector -- Dr. Hector Gutierrez Rufrancos Lecturer in Economics University of Stirling School of Management PhD Convenor, Economics Division, University of Stirling School of Management Co-Director UG Programme in Economics, University of Stirling School of Management Global Labor Organization Research Fellow https://rufrancos.org ________________________________ The University achieved an overall 5 stars in the QS World University Rankings 2020 UK Sports University of the Year 2020 (Times Higher Good University Guide) The University of Stirling is a charity registered in Scotland, number SC 011159.
